Actionscript 3.0 :: Update An AS2 Menu Bar With Slider?
Aug 19, 2009
I am just learning AS3, and have no idea whatsoever about the differences between 2 and 3. There is a bit of code from [url]...how-to-make-a-minimalistic-vertical-menu-with-a-slider/ that I wanted to update to use AS3, but it was written in AS2.[code]...
I'm having some trouble with the code below. the flash player has a default volume slider, but I want to use the jQuery slider to change the volume. the volume value(nr) is changing while I move the slider, but the volume of the song doesn't.
Anyway, I'm trying to make a slider menu like this. I don't need the the XML aspect. I just want to know how to make the slider slide to a specific space when I click on it.I searched Google extensively for tutorials on how to tween and tutorials on how to make a slider menu, but could not find what I was looking for. All the tween tutorials just showed how to tween from one space to another, and all the slider menu FLA's I downloaded were completely different than what I am looking for.
I have this problem that my text won't update in the movieclip. I can clear it txtName.text = ""; (works fine) but putting the label in it ain't working.[code]....
I am trying to save time by opening the source file and changing it to support my pictures/etc. instead of starting from scratch. So my question is: How do I create more than 4 buttons? I have attached a picture scrn shot if what I see when i press F9// "actions" panel.. I think the problem is when I create a new button, in this case, button 5, it does not carry over to be a subdirectory under the Scene 1 > Actions things on the bottom left... I've tried converting a rectangle on the buttons layer to a button symbol, and adding the appropriate code to it, but to no avail.. When I Ctrl+Enter to preview it, the slider moves 4 spaces but when I hover over the newly created 5th button the slider just moves back to
I have created a slider menu that moves when the arrows are clicked on either side. The images for this menu are loading dynamically from an xml file onto a 'container' in my fla.
Code is :
import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; var xml:XML; var images:Array = new Array();
I've been trying to create a flash website menu that updates the menu text via an xml file. The problem I'm experiencing is that when I update the dynamic text in the menu, it doesn't seem to go through.I know I am referencing the dynamic text correctly as when I run the swf for the first time, I briefly see the correct text for about half-a-second before it is replaced by the default dynamic text. There is something that is overwriting the new text with the default values but I cannot see what is causing it.I am changing the dynamic menu text in _root although the dynamic text exists in nested movie clips .e.'_main.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_b utton_text'.The code in _root is:

I am using code from the site, [URL] and I would like to make my slider smaller or bigger depending on the link. I'm guessing it can be done with action script, but have no idea how to do it. To view my file it's at: [URL] the FLA is at:[URL] Sadly, I need to squeeze one more link on the top menu and I am running out of room.
where can find a tutorial or Tree Menu like the astra Tree Menu with a functional horizontal slider? I am dont know how to make the changes. All I need is the simple astra tree menu but I NEED that horizontal slider.
I am trying to make a menu that has a "slider" arrow at the top that points to the current button that you clicked. Right now I just have it so that if you click a button it changes the x position of the arrow movie clip to go over a certain button. I would like to create the effect where it moves slower to the different buttons and then it "springs" back and forth over the button getting closer and closer until it finally stops.
I have tried using some formulas that I found on the web, but I can't get the button to control the motion of the movie.[URL]
When I load a .swf into a target movie that I have on my main page, it is all wrong, the slider menu that I have loading into the target movie, does not stay inside target and it seems to reposition the slider menu to the x psotion of my main movie How can I fix this, so the slider menu in the swf stays inside the target movie when loaded?
FLA file is too large to attach, if needed I can attach it in pieces.
I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
I've got a movieclip, which has got a dynamic text element.The movieclip uses a package for its codeThe package if obviously derived from the MovieClip classI've got a timer, that updates the dynamic text field every second.When debugging the code, I see that the timer works well. Its updates the value of the dynamic text field.
What I have is a map that you can click on points and it will zoom in, you can also click on a "plus/minus" buttons to zoom in and out (I even have the mouse wheel zooming in and out). The client wanted me to add a "zoom slider bar" to it so you know you could move it up and down to scale it. Everything is working except the slider, I can't seem to get it to work with the position of the slider. All of the zoom functionality is there but the slider is killing me.
I am putting up the fla file since there is a lot of code in there and I didn't want to put it all in the forum. if you look in the fla in frame ten on line 726 you can find the function that is supposed to handle the zooming when you move the slider. Up on line 74 you can find the slider onPress and onRelease functions, but those I believe should be fine.
I am trying to create a basic timeline, similar to the timeline we all use in flash (see attached).
I have a playhead slider, which when dragged, just drags within its startDrag() limits.
I also have horizontal window scroller which also when dragged, just drags within its startDrag() limits.
I am trying to work out how to get the horizontal window scroller to scroll when the playhead slider hits the left or right edge. I am using hittest for this collision.
I have the playHeadSlider scrolling along the top. When playHeadSlider collides with hittestThing I want mcContents to then move.
It kind of works.. mcContents moves when the playHeadSlider is in collision with the hittestThing.. but it just moves rather than 'drags' across. I have it set up so that mcContents is twice the width (approx) of mcScrollWindow.
I need to somehow update what I have so that if the playHeadSlider collides with hittestThing on the right, mcContents only moves to the right and if playHeadSlider collides with hittestThing2 on the left, mcContents only moves to the left.
I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.

Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script> <![CDATA[ // Import the Menu control. import mx.controls.Menu;
I'm making my new photography site, and it's going to be entirely in flash. I'm an intermediate flash person, but there is something I'd like to do with my menu that I can't figure out how to do. I'm going to have 4 buttons:
